Peptide
A short chain of amino acids (roughly 2–50) joined by peptide bonds. Shorter than a protein.
Amino acid
The building blocks of peptides and proteins. The order they're joined in defines the peptide's sequence.
Sequence
The specific order of amino acids in a peptide. It determines the peptide's identity and properties.
SPPS solid-phase peptide synthesis
The standard way laboratory peptides are made: amino acids are added one at a time onto a resin support, then cleaved and purified.
Lyophilised freeze-dried
Dried under vacuum at low temperature into a stable powder ("cake"). How peptides are shipped for stability.
Reconstitution
Dissolving a freeze-dried material in a measured volume of a solvent suitable for that compound and experiment.
Bacteriostatic water
Water containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a preservative. Check the product label and assay compatibility; adding it does not establish that a peptide solution is sterile.
Aliquot
To split a reconstituted solution into smaller single-use portions, so the rest can be stored without repeated freeze–thaw.
Net peptide content NPC
The peptide fraction of a sample, excluding non-peptide components such as water and counter-ions. It is distinct from HPLC purity and may be reported as a percentage.
Purity
A method-dependent measurement of the target component relative to detected components. HPLC purity is distinct from peptide content, sterility and endotoxin testing.
HPLC high-performance liquid chromatography
The analytical method used to separate and measure a peptide's purity and detect impurities.
Mass spectrometry MS
An analytical method that measures mass-to-charge ratios. A molecular-mass match supports identity assessment but is not, by itself, complete sequence verification.
Lot / Batch
A specific production run of a compound. Our certificates are published per product, each with the laboratory's own verification link.
Excipient
An inactive added ingredient — for example a bulking agent that stabilises the peptide during freeze-drying.
Mannitol
A sugar alcohol used as a bulking excipient. Cake size does not establish peptide mass or purity; check the formulation and analytical report.
Counter-ion TFA / acetate
Salts left from purification (trifluoroacetate or acetate) that pair with the peptide. Part of the total mass but not active peptide.
Oxidation
A degradation reaction, common in peptides containing methionine or cysteine, that can occur with exposure to air, light or time.
Deamidation
A degradation reaction where certain residues (asparagine, glutamine) slowly convert to other forms over time.
Molar concentration
The amount of substance per volume (moles per litre). Calculated using net peptide content for accuracy.
Blend
A product containing more than one peptide in a single vial, prepared together (for example our Glow Blend).
Copper peptide GHK-Cu
A peptide bound to copper, studied in skin and tissue research.
Nootropic
A descriptor for compounds studied for effects on focus and cognition in research settings (e.g. Selank, Semax).
Vial
The sealed glass container the peptide is supplied in — laboratory-grade glass with a rubber stopper and crimped seal.
In-vitro
Latin for "in glass" — research done in a controlled environment outside a living organism (test tube, culture, plate).
RUO research use only
Sold strictly for laboratory research, not for human or animal consumption, and not approved for therapeutic, clinical or diagnostic use.
